Formal Name With Various Trendy Nicknames?

Girl Names
1

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries,

My husband and I are running into a bit of a wall when it comes to choosing names. There aren’t many we agree on and it seems the ones we do both like have reasons that they’re unusable (examples include [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for a girl, [name_m]Anthony[/name_m], [name_u]Ryan[/name_u], and [name_m]Eric[/name_m] for a boy).

We don’t really have many requirements other than it be two or more syllables with options for nicknames (they can be one or more syllables). Thus far we can’t put our finger on what our “style” is - I don’t think we have one.

Girl names we like but that don’t necessarily seem right for us include [name_f]Rachel[/name_f], [name_f]Megan[/name_f], and [name_f]Ellianna[/name_f]/[name_f]Eliana[/name_f].

We’ve been discussing the name [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] for a girl because nicknames would include [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], and [name_f]Nora[/name_f] while giving her a formal option to use for job interviews, for example. However, neither of us really loves [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] - we’d probably never call her that and are’t sure we want to give her a name we only like the nicknames for.

Can you berries offer other suggestions for formal names with more modern/trendy nicknames? [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] would be a great option but is off of the table due to a close friend being named that.

My husband tends to lean toward more traditional names (his choice would be [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (not usable) while I would probably choose [name_f]Madelyn[/name_f] myself. Both names have been nixed by the other.

We’re not sure if baby is going to be a boy or a girl so I’ll be posting a similar post in the boy forum.

Any help is appreciated, berries!

There are so many long choices out there, but sounds like your hubby wants something familiar. If you like [name_m]Anthony[/name_m] for a boy, how about [name_f]Antonia[/name_f] or [name_f]Antonella[/name_f]?

[name_f]Julia[/name_f] ([name_u]Jules[/name_u], [name_u]Jay[/name_u], [name_u]Jude[/name_u])
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f] ([name_u]Jojo[/name_u], [name_u]Joey[/name_u], [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_f]Posey[/name_f])
[name_f]Caroline[/name_f] ([name_u]Caro[/name_u], [name_f]Coco[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f], [name_f]Clio[/name_f])
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f] ([name_f]Cate[/name_f], [name_f]Kitty[/name_f], [name_f]Katie[/name_f], [name_f]Cece[/name_f])
[name_f]Penelope[/name_f] ([name_u]Penny[/name_u], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Pippa[/name_f], [name_f]Nell[/name_f])
[name_f]Helena[/name_f] ([name_f]Nell[/name_f], [name_m]Lenny[/name_m], [name_f]Lena[/name_f])
[name_f]Felicity[/name_f] ([name_f]Flick[/name_f], Fliss, Liddy, [name_u]Fee[/name_u])
[name_f]Leonora[/name_f] ([name_m]Leo[/name_m], [name_f]Nora[/name_f])
[name_f]Leonie[/name_f] ([name_m]Leo[/name_m])
[name_f]Naomi[/name_f] (Gnome)
[name_f]Miranda[/name_f] ([name_f]Mira[/name_f], [name_u]Randi[/name_u], [name_u]Andy[/name_u], [name_f]Mimi[/name_f])
[name_u]Cassidy[/name_u] ([name_u]Cass[/name_u], [name_m]Sid[/name_m])
[name_f]Victoria[/name_f] ([name_f]Tori[/name_f], [name_f]Vicky[/name_f], [name_f]Ria[/name_f])
[name_f]Delilah[/name_f] ([name_u]Del[/name_u], [name_f]Lila[/name_f])

It might be a good idea to narrow down which nicknames you like and then work backwards from there. Here are some nicknames that I consider current/trendy you might like -

[name_f]Brie[/name_f]/[name_f]Bri[/name_f]/[name_f]Bree[/name_f]
[name_f]Callie[/name_f]
[name_f]Cora[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Della[/name_f]

These are good suggestions, many of which we’ve discussed, but none feel like us somehow. We can’t really put our finger on what we do like/what does feel like us. We both like [name_f]Megan[/name_f] but it’s my middle name so it seems weird to use. And it feels a bit dated, maybe? Plus lacks many nickname options.

I’ve been an name nerd for as long as I can recall and can’t believe I now find myself in this boat!

[name_f]Margaret[/name_f], nn’s include [name_f]Maggie[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (the meaning of [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]), [name_f]Margo[/name_f], and [name_f]Em[/name_f].
[name_f]Lucille[/name_f], [name_f]Lucia[/name_f], [name_f]Lucina[/name_f], etc. nn’s include [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_u]Lou[/name_u], and [name_f]Cece[/name_f].
[name_f]Adelaide[/name_f], nn’s include [name_f]Addy[/name_f], Lady, [name_f]Delia[/name_f], [name_f]Dede[/name_f]
[name_f]Catherine[/name_f], nn’s include Caty
[name_f]Juliet[/name_f], nn’s [name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_u]Julie[/name_u], [name_f]Lettie[/name_f]
[name_f]Matilda[/name_f], nn’s [name_f]Tilly[/name_f]
[name_f]Lydia[/name_f], nn’s [name_f]Dede[/name_f], [name_f]Didi[/name_f], [name_f]Liddie[/name_f]
[name_f]Josephine[/name_f], nn’s [name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_u]Josie[/name_u], [name_f]Effie[/name_f], [name_f]Fina[/name_f]
[name_f]Julianna[/name_f], [name_u]Jo[/name_u], [name_u]Julie[/name_u], [name_f]Lia[/name_f]

The ones that I feel like match the most are [name_f]Matilda[/name_f], [name_f]Julianna[/name_f], and [name_f]Margaret[/name_f]. Although my personal favorites of the bunch are [name_f]Margaret[/name_f], [name_f]Lucille[/name_f], and [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. Good luck!

A lot of these are great suggestions and, unfortunately, they’ve either been ruled out by family/friends being named them or one of us not being on board. I can’t believe we’re having such a hard time coming up with anything to even make a short list out of!

Here’s a few with more than one nickname. I tried not to repeat what others put, so I’m sorry if I did! Best of luck.

Considering the pull towards both [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] (and to a lesser extent) [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]/[name_f]Elianna[/name_f] (by the way I really like [name_f]Eliana[/name_f]) I’m inclined to think there might be an “[name_f]El[/name_f]’” name out there for you.

What about [name_f]Ellen[/name_f]? It has a certain similarity to [name_f]Megan[/name_f], too, which is also on your list.
Other “[name_f]El[/name_f]” names have been suggested, too, that I won’t repeat, but maybe there’s one in there for you?

Is [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] too close to [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] for you? [name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Elise[/name_f]? Or another [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] variation like [name_f]Elspeth[/name_f]?

Alternately, you could look for a name with an “elle” ending:
[name_f]Isabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Annabelle[/name_f]
[name_f]Mirabel[/name_f]

My last suggestion would be to think about what constitutes a “formal name” for you. In my opinion, [name_f]Ella[/name_f] or [name_f]Nora[/name_f], for example, could stand alone just fine on a job resume–or with MD, JD, Madame President :wink:

11

Like [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f], [name_f]Margaret[/name_f] is a name with lots of nicknames – I like [name_f]Maisie[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Peggy[/name_f], and [name_f]Meg[/name_f]

I’m very attracted to E names…if not [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f], how about [name_u]Evelyn[/name_u], [name_f]Edith[/name_f], [name_u]Eloise[/name_u], or [name_f]Esther[/name_f]?

12

[name_m]How[/name_m] about?
[name_f]Elena[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ella[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Lena[/name_f] or even [name_m]Len[/name_m] (could be an alternative to [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f])
[name_f]Elisa[/name_f] nn [name_f]Elle[/name_f], [name_f]Ellie[/name_f], [name_f]Lise[/name_f], [name_f]Elise[/name_f], or [name_u]Lisa[/name_u]
[name_f]Lucia[/name_f] nn [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Lu[/name_f], [name_f]Lulu[/name_f], [name_f]Lula[/name_f], or possibly [name_f]Sia[/name_f]/[name_f]Cia[/name_f] (see-ah) if you pronounce it as [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-see-ah rather than [name_f]Lu[/name_f]-chee-ah
[name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], [name_f]Rosa[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_u]Ali[/name_u], [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_f]Coralie[/name_f]: [name_f]Coral[/name_f], [name_f]Cora[/name_f], [name_u]Ali[/name_u], [name_u]Lee[/name_u]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f] (has some great nn options): [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Mags[/name_f], [name_f]Nola[/name_f], [name_f]Lia[/name_f] or maybe
[name_f]Margaret[/name_f] / [name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] nn [name_f]Maggie[/name_f], [name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Molly[/name_f], [name_f]Mary[/name_f] etc etc

13

I actually really like [name_f]Emmeline[/name_f] but my husband isn’t on board. For the longest time he loved [name_f]Emma[/name_f] and now he’s meh on it. I like [name_u]Vivian[/name_u] but [name_f]Viv[/name_f]/Vivvy don’t really work for me and my husband isn’t on board in genearl.[name_f]Katherine[/name_f] is yet another unusable and while I like some of hte others I can’t necessarily imagine them on my child. I appreciate your input!

14

I do tend to like E names and love [name_f]Elle[/name_f]/[name_f]Ella[/name_f]/[name_f]Ellie[/name_f] options but I just can’t seem to get there! I do like [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] but have a hard time imagining her as my daughter for some reason. I really can’t believe how difficult this is/I am turning out to be!

15

I’ve considered [name_f]Edith[/name_f] but like [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] I’m not really sold on it. I wish I knew what my hold up is. I think I imagine myself with a daughter whose name ends in “a” but names like [name_f]Isabella[/name_f], [name_f]Gabriella[/name_f], [name_f]Arabella[/name_f], etc. don’t seem right when I try to imagine a little person in my life.
